Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 beets, trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached
6 tablespoons basil pesto
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the beets in a large saucepan and cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the beets are just tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, and allow the beets to cool until you are able to handle them. Peel and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices, then toss with the pesto in a bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Spread the beets out onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the beets are hot and have turned slightly brown around the edges, 10 to 15 minutes.

These beets were amazing! I roasted them for a little longer than the recipe called for, and they were perfectly caramelized. The pesto was also very flavorful and added a nice touch of brightness to the dish.
